Looks at the start as if this may be the hottest day. Early call from George Scharffenberger about the easement we’ve given for use of a patch of ground on the ranch now up for sale. There is a question of whether it’s 1 or 3 acres. I’ve said include it in the sale—pay us & it is an easement forever. An engineer is going to figure out what the size is.

A nice ride—Nancy too. Lunch & then with Barney & Dennis back to pruning. Quit about 4 P.M. & I faced some paperwork. Not too much & no really great decisions. Well anyway—clean up, dinner & a little T.V. Heard Dukakis on T.V. claiming that Bush was part of a program of selling weapons to Iran. I’ve got to find the right occasion & tell the truth about Iran-Contra. Then to bed.
